The international logistics special line refers to the route channels to specific countries、 such as the British special line、 the American special line and the German special line.

International express delivery refers to the express delivery and logistics business conducted between two or more countries (or regions). The transportation of letters、 commercial documents and articles between countries (or regions) is a means of inspection and release of express mail through border ports between countries and customs. After the international express arrives at the destination country、 it needs to be transshipped again in the destination country to deliver the express to the final destination、 which is called international express.

The transportation modes of international logistics special line include air transportation、 sea transportation、 rail transportation、 land transportation、 etc. The modes of transportation of international express include air transportation、 sea transportation、 rail transportation、 etc.

International logistics focuses on the delivery of large quantities of goods to the destination and reduces costs by means of large-scale transportation; The overall price is lower than that of commercial express; Speed and timeliness are better than postal packets; Low packet loss rate. The timeliness of international express is very strong; High security of goods; Strong customs clearance capability; A wide range of goods can be collected.

According to the form and packaging of goods、 the maritime transport goods are divided into three categories: liquid goods、 dry bulk goods and general cargo. The three categories of goods are divided as follows:

① Liquid cargo: petroleum、 product oil、 liquefied gas、 liquid chemicals and other liquid cargo.

② Dry bulk cargo: various primary products and raw materials. Generally、 dry bulk cargo can be divided into bulk cargo and small bulk cargo according to the size of transportation batch. Bulk cargo mainly includes coal、 metal ore、 grain、 etc; Small batch bulk cargo includes steel、 wood、 fertilizer、 cement、 etc.

③ General cargo: mainly including electromechanical equipment、 chemical industry、 light industry medicine and other industrial finished products、 agricultural、 animal husbandry and fishery products. These goods are generally consigned in the form of "pieces"、 "boxes" and "bundles"、 including packaged goods、 unpacked goods or non packaged goods、 and unitized goods.

Because large products are troublesome in the operations such as palletizing and handling of goods、 the quantities are very large、 which requires the overseas warehouse staff to quickly record the warehouse location information of goods when warehousing、 and to quickly find the corresponding goods when outbound to complete the outbound.

Therefore、 we need to use an appropriate overseas warehouse system to cooperate with the management. It is suggested that you can check whether the overseas warehouse system includes such functions as receipt and consignment、 delivery allocation、 and delivery record、 which can help you manage large products more clearly.

The system independently developed by TODROPSHIPPING can complete the delivery forecast and the printing of the delivery order、 and the order number information of the final logistics will also be automatically returned to the system、 without the need for staff to manually upload the order number and manually match the order、 making the delivery easier and more efficient.

Although the proportion of large products in overseas warehouse products has declined、 there is still a lot of demand for them、 so we should pay attention to them.

Some precautions for international maritime moving: when we choose an international moving company、 we must know its subject qualification and contract performance ability、 so as to determine whether the other party has the shipping qualification and the ability to ensure the safe arrival of goods at the destination. The contents of the consignment note should be true、 because the contract of carriage of goods will be established when the completed consignment note is accepted by the carrier and the carrier fills in the consignment note. The shipper must indicate the departure and arrival stations、 the units、 names and addresses of the shipper and the consignee、 and the packaging、 storage and transportation instructions in accordance with national regulations. Goods under the care and supervision of specially assigned personnel during transportation. The supercargo shall be responsible for the safety of the goods and abide by the relevant regulations on transportation. Before consignment of goods、 we must first understand the contraband and dangerous goods subject to transportation restrictions、 so as to avoid unnecessary trouble and delay in transportation caused by customs inspection. The articles shall be well packaged、 meet the transportation safety requirements、 and avoid loss of articles due to damage during transportation.
